IMPROVEMENT IN BRACELET-FASTENINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,078, dated February 3,1874 application led January l0, 1874.

To all whom lit may concern Be it known that I, HENRY STONE, of Newark, Essex county, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bracelet-Catch, of which the following is a specification The figure is a side view of a portion of a bracelet to which my improvement has been applied, partly in section, to show the construction.

. My invention has for its object to improve the construction of the bracelet-catch deend of the other part. O is a small cap, ot' such a size as to shut down over the knob of the catch B, and which is hinged to the center ofthe outer side of the end of the part of the bracelet A that contains the socket-for the said catch B. To the free end of the cap C is attached a small spring or locket catch, D, which,when the said cap O is shut down, shuts into a socket torined in the outer side of the end of the other part of the bracelet A, and thus locks the cap O down over the knob ot' the catch B,preventing the said catch B from becoming accidentally unt'astened.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the spring-catch D,with the hinged cap O and the spring-catch B of a bracelet, substantially as herein shown-and described.

HENRY STONE.
